Homo Notes.

General Dodge, president of the Pan
handle Construction Company and very
largely interested in the Fort Worth and
Denver, arrived in Fort Worth yesterday,
accompanied by President Morgan Jones
and other officials of the road. General
Dodge was seen last night, and grace
fully submitted to an interview, at the
hands OF THE GAZETTE. He says he
came overland from Trinidad, for 400
miles, and never passed over as fine q
country before in his life. He says this
spring 900 people have come in from
Kansas and taken up quarter sections in
Colorado and gone to work raising crops.
Five towns from five to fifty miles from
the line of the Fort Worth and Denver
have been started and will doubtless
be prosperous. He says the
lack of knowledge of this
country is what is holding it back, that
when people learn its richness, that water
can be obtained easily, and that the finest
coal west of Pennsylvania eau be OBJ
tanned at Trinidad, they will pour into
the country. The soil is OF great depth,
and the country fine rolling prairie. The
Panhandle is in fine condition and rapidly
filling up with good class of farmers.
The Denver, Texas and Fort Worth is
built 100 miles from Pueblo, and work is
going on between Trinidad snd Emory's
Gap. There will be 125 miles CT the road
in New Mexico. The gap between the
two roads is 500 miles, and this will be
filed and trains running TO Denver in
twelve months. At Tascoss, in Oldham
county, General Dodge, Colonel Jones and
party were the first to cross the wagon
bridge over the Canadian river,
which the General says is
very good one. The crops will be fine
all along the road in Texas, and the COM
pany expects TO do heavy freight bust
ness IN moving them. AtDenver, Pueblo
and Trinidad the people are enthusiastic
about the road, considerably mole so
than al Fort Worth, considering it the
greatest road they can get.
"Do you intend to build road to the
gulf" asked the reporter.
eve have our hands full with the road
to Denver, and as long as our relations
are pleasant with the lines running from
Fort Worth TO the gulf, and they are
pleasant, we will not build such 8 road.
Our charter for the Denver, Texas aud
Fort Worth provides, however, that such
s line can be built by the company"
'sWhat about Fort Worth, Geleral?N
"J am satisfied that my prediction
shout Fort Worth will be fulfilled; better
satisfied now than ever. Your terminal
facilities will make you the greatest dis
triburiug center OF the southwest, and
that means that you will be great city "
"What about building your own line
into the city from Hodge?"
Here General Dodge referred the ques-
ton to President Jones, who was pres
ent during the entire conversation.
President Jones said the company had |
wanted to build in but had about sbsn-
doned the idea, the cost of right of way
amounting to over $4,000.
General Dodge said: "We will prob
ably have to make arrangements with |
some road leading out north to come IN !
over their tracks, and do all our trans |

The Panama CANAL.

NEW YORK, June l6.-Mr. T. Boulange,
one of the chief engineers of the Panama
canal, in an address before the American
Society of Civil Engineers, said, among
other things, that about 30,OO0,000 cubic
metres of the total of 100000 metres
to be excsvated have row been removed.
He also asserts that the company
only has money enough OH
hand to continue the work for
four months and he doubted if DeLesseps
could raise any more money for the COM
psny in France. The death rate among
the Iaborers was about 60 per cent
among colored workmen and 80 per cent
among the white lsborers, per ennum.
The company had great trouble in obtain

THE TEXAS MINING KING.
Talk with the Owner of the Gold and
Silver Mine in Burnet County,
Special to the Gazette.

A Talk with the Owner of the cold and
Silver Mine in Burnet County.
Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, June Fitzgerald,
who bought the gold and silver mine in
Burnet county, arrived in Austin tonight.
There is great excitement in Burnett on
account of the find. Mr. Fitzgerald is
now seventy three years of age, and has
no superior as a mining expert. Thirty
eight years ago he located the
Ductown mines of Northern Georgia.
His acute instinct in searching for min
eraI deposits is the result of foTty-fiye
years devoted to that business, and 1t has
never failed him. The present find has
many times been looked over by prospect
ors end seeming experts, who in each and
every instance examined only the quartz
deposits. Mr.. Fitzgerald came fore
armed with the knowledge obtained from
the records that the gold and silver are to
be found in the iron ore deposits
and not among the quartz. These
he found and the specimens he
has had essayed show yield of
S240 worth of gold TO the ton, exclusive
of the silver and iron. Mr. Fitzgerald
was seen to-day by reporter of The
GAZETTE and these facts obtained directly
from him. He is hearty,
cheerful old gentleman, bearing more
than well the burden of hiS seVenty-thrae
years. He is pleasant companion, and
gave all the information he had to impart
with seeming pleasure. What might
seem incompatible with his business as
mining expert, he is a minister of the
gospel, having been q Baptist
preacher for forty-dve years, all
the time that he has been
in mining. He laughingly told
the reporter that he had frequently worked
at the mines all day and preached to the
men at night. Mr.. Fitzgerald states that
the present find of the San Saba mines
g worth S5,000,006. Machinery to work
hem has been ordered and will
re on the ground next week ready for
starting the mines in opera
ion. Mr.. Fitzgerald himself arrived in
Austin this evening from Burnett st $50
md left on the s 80 train for San Antonio.

mentioned that the color and design

Canadians are just now manifesting an in
curing spirit as to the efficiency of their
militia system, its organization, equipment
and serviceableness. This spirit of inquiry
has been largely stimulated by the press, and
considerable overhauIing and nose poling
have been INDUCED in of late. But the fact
that public attention is being directed to our
military system is not to be accepted as pro-
phetic of the faintest possibility of war with
the United States, for such contingency is
considered absurdly remote, especially over
such a petty matter as the fishery difficulty,
but is attributable more to precautionary
spirit than anything else.
The present militia system of Canada is
time honored institution, dating back over
100 years, and from its historical and
national associations deeply venerated by the
masses of Canadian people. The service is
purely voluntary, there being no need of
CONSUMPTION, as all young and true Canadians
seem only too anxious to join the ranks and
keep it up to the full standard In fact, it is
difficult to find genuine Canuck who has
not been at some period of his life militia
man or who has not relatives connected with
the force.
